Recruitment for The Graveyard Shift.

Whistling as he put up the poster on the wall. Dressed in black boots blue jeans white shirt and trench coat he looked like a biker, except he was also clearly dead. The poster stated this.
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Greetings are you tired of being looked at by others? Do you get tired of being turned away when trying to vote every election because you're deceased? Do you have a sexural horrasment issue because you said someone looked delicious and they thought you meant sexurally, when you didn't? Is it hard to hold a conversation with someone because you're a spirit?

Well if you answered yes then I have the group for you! The Graveyard Shift is a fun loving Supergroup for the living impaired. Among our services will be "Brain Eaters Anonymous" a twelve step program to brake that craving for the gray goodness. "Unliving and Loving it" a regular party event. "Haunting 101 for those of the spirit world learn how and what you can really do. And much more!

Indeed, most of my characters in COH were goth based. I think it's soo much more interesting than the usual run of the mill living. One of my most fav quotes is " You only start living, when you're dead" ... Haha.

My necromancer is what you would call a perky goth and a sad clown in-terms of personality and fashion sense and I am constructing a backstory as I go along that I hope gives him more of a complicated character rather then a standard goth angsty dude or gal (although I rather have that then ''Paragons of Justice'' type of characters running around). I don't know if I would consider him entirely dead though...

Unless you let Necromancers in the Butcher House RottenLuck I will probably try to come up with a idea for a zombie character, will probably connect him or her to Sebastian though in some way or another

Necromancers are fine to. The Graveyard shift not prejudice against the living (they be joining the dead eventually) the idea is that those who are dead, near dead, mostly dead, can hang out and not worry about. "AGH ZOMBIES, AGH VAMPIRE," kind of stuff. As for not quite standard Goth well you seen my Misty! If not well here is her image from CoH.

Wish I had the presence of mind to take some screenshots of my old characters.... Oh well , they have gone along with the game... Time for a fresh start!!
Nice character... Chains and padlocks I see.
I think I used to spend just as much time creating my characters than actually playing,haha...was such fun.
Ummmmmmm........things I want to do........have a dead good time...I will sleep on it though and let you know so don't despair....yet!

Time will tell...haha!....
Just wondering what type of character to kick off with....I'm guessing a healer type class would be actually a huge contradiction if I am to be in an undead group?!....I mean if an undead member got killed for one, is that entirely possible, and two, what could I do...poke the corpse with a stick or something and shrug!....I lose sleep over these dilemas I do!
....I must get out a bit more!

well I can think of a few reasons for a healer type for the dead. Someone needs to put the parts back together from time to time. However City of Titans will follow City of Heroes example and there wouldn't be a pure Healer type directly. Sure something like Empathy healer, but even that had major buffs.

Thnx Izzy, that film looks great, I may just step outside the front door after all. Animation and horror are just my cup of tea.
As for characters, I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens won't we.
Btw...sorry but I think I've unthreaded your thread!

Sign me up Rotten! Rigor Mortis at your service. /bows deeply
I've played CoH/CoV from beta to close and one of my favorite villains groups were the Vahzilok, which Rigor is based on. Anyways, would love to join Graveyard Shift and get back in with the community again. Any limitations to join other SGs with other characters?

Nope you be free to join other SGs. Heck if the talk is what I think you be able to join more then one SG with the same Character (not sure though that still in the figuring out phase),

Rotten Luck my main will always be. I like many others will have Alts and not all of them be GS characters. So no such foolish rules about that. I'm really laid back and just seeking others to group together for some morbid undead fun.

Only had two real responses so far to this. No big undead characters of any type a niche thing. With at least two years to wait till we can log into the new Titan City there time to find more. Like I asked Snowbunny if you have any ideas or desires for this SG tell me and we see what we can do.

What do you mean by no big undead characters of any type?

I do have one request that our SG base be Goth/Halloween themed! ;-)

Also, what classification do you plan to be with Rotten? Rigor was a Dark Melee/Super Reflexes scrapper in CoH, so I'm thinking Striker or something similar in CoT.

As for people who drift in and out of other SG's...I strongly frown upon it. :-/ just what's the point?

Wouldn't drift in and out of a SG with the character that has joined, never that. I frown upon the same thing. My question was for non-undead type alts who fit better in a different SG. I have a few characters that I want to create that don't fit the undead theme already planned. /shrug

I really need to pay attention to what I post when tired. I meant no Biggie. As in no problem on my part. Playing Undead of any type not a major draw of this type of MMOs. So I'm not expecting a flood of people wanting to get in. Goth or Horror I was going for anyway. The base when I get a chance to design it would be in a Mausoleum!

As for what Rotten was, he was a Street Justice/Willpower/Energy Mastery Brute. Had his build set up with so much regen and recovery he was nearly unstoppable. Didn't hit hard as some other builds, but never stopped. Even when he did faceplant I had not just the Willpower self rez but a few others.

A lot of us are. Not sure if they'll open that can of worms back up, though.

Naw, the whole create a building thing they are doing with Mogul is great and all, but I was talking about just decorating the outside of a normal sg base entrance, like a hideout entrance that they have been talking about in the base building forums. I wouldn't want to tread on any of the huge financial supporters toes, and I definitely don't think that option should be opened up post Kickstarter.

Maybe a banner, some minor decorations like headstones/skulls possibly, would be neat. :-)

Well there is plans for a base editor, eventually. Last I heard is the plan was to produce a Costume Editor, Base Editor, then full game. The base editor would be a modified version of the map editor for missions. So people using it would basically be bug testers. The money from online perches for the Costumes and Base Editors would go to fun the game.

My name is Dr August Zombie. My minions and I would be glad to join you and see to your...medical needs. My practice has brought me into contact with all manner of supernatural and undead creatures and I am an accomplished surgeon as well.

Tied to spirits of ancestors sounds like a shaman to me. That a fun gimmick to play.

The idea of this group is for characters that get shunned for being tied to death. Either undead, ghost, necromancer, those that passed or returned from the dead.

Give me more details I really hate saying no. Until the game launches things are still in a holding pattern.

I had in mind he’d more or less be an ally to the group, likes consultant brought in when it’s clear that some magical assitance is needed or more specifically the help of a magic user or witch is required.

I think that personally, opening the Graveyard Shift up to all respective creatures of the night and more supernatural inclined heroes or character rather than zombies would also assist in recruitment and membership.

Tinged towards urban legend and more classical supernatural creatures and tropes of course, but making the characters needing to be undead or have a tie to death could be a little limiting.

I died. I remember dying, it wasn't pretty.
THEY decided to bring me back because THEY weren't finished yet *shudder* but this 'thing' on my shoulder gave me a choice.
Let THEM bring me back and . . . do . . . what THEY want, or come back and be able to do something TO THEM? All I had to do was let 'it' come along with me back to the living world.
I killed THEM with the sword that that was on the 'alter' with me, then I stiched up the tears and holes in my body, . . . my dead body . . ., and here I am *whispers* almost.
